You Need An ExtraCare Card

You can ask a cashier for a card/application, or sign up online. If you're excited to get started, ask for it at the store. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the card to arrive in the mail.

You'll need to have your card scanned for each of your purchases.


Then Start Earning EBs (Extrabucks)
EBs are earned through promotions, such as “Buy XX, receive $YY in EB.” You will see these promotions in the weekly ads or shelf tags. The EBs print at the end of your receipt - clip them and keep them as carefully as you would cash.
  • The required amount to receive the EB is always calculated before coupons.
  • You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction or at the same store. A tally is printed on each receipt showing what you have towards each deal...

  • EBs can be used to purchase nearly anything in the store. (excluding prescriptions, alcohol, Gift Cards, lottery, money orders, postage stamps, pre-paid cards and tobacco products, as printed on the EB.) They also cannot be used to pay the tax on a transaction.
  • You cannot get change back when you spend your EBs. However, they can be entered as less than their face value, for example if your total (before tax) comes to $1.97 and you have an EB for $1.99 that you would like to use, and you don't mind losing 2 cents of its value. The cashier will adjust the value to the balance due before tax.
  • EBs expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed.
